What the BBC doesn’t want you to know about the Paris rally in defence of marriage

By Deacon Nick Donnelly, on January 14th, 2013

A reader of Protect the Pope has sent in his eye-witness account of participating among the 800,000 who rallied in Paris yesterday in defence of marriage and the family. The report includes links to Youtube video and photographs of the march. If any other readers of Protect the Pope took part in the Paris mass rally please send in your accounts and photographs, so we can counter the prejudiced and imbalanced reporting of the BBC.

“I am studying in Paris at the moment and was fortunate enough to witness (and participate in) yesterday’s demonstration. I can tell you that it was an incredible sight; you are sadly right that the B.B.C. has conveyed neither the size nor the spirit of the event. There were three marches across the city, each covering sizeable distances, and the first marchers arrived at the Champ de Mars (below the Eiffel Tower) before the tails of any of the processions had left. I joined one of the marches near what I thought must be its end, but was actually still within the first quarter.

The demonstration has been very well-organised. I have seen leaflets in churches and handed out at stations. Each of the three marches had flags of different colours, so that when they all converged on the Champ de Mars they would create the effect of the Tricolore. All along the march there were floats with speakers playing music and slogans, and at the Champ de Mars a concert was held on a large stage with big screens.

The mood was uplifting and joyful, and I saw people of all ages (the elderly, families, students) who had come from all over France in hundreds of coaches and even in special trains. The police have remarked that there were no unseemly incidents and that they have never seen Paris so clean after a demonstration of this size. I have read that for many (including me) this was their first demonstration.

I think the success of the march can be put down to its unflinching attention to the plight of the child, which is after all the most important objection to these proposals. The slogans, the placards and the letter to the President read out at the end all upheld the importance of family: the rights of children to be brought up by the man and woman who brought them into the world. The march also succeeded by its independence, by the breadth of opinion of its three organisers and by the joyful mood which they encouraged.

Incidentally, even the picture looking down from the Eiffel Tower does not include everyone. It must have been taken before the last participants had arrived (which did not happen until after dark). Quite a few were also leaving at this point because they had long journeys to make.

I think the lack of coverage demonstrates that the BBC doesn’t seem to think it that important. I have a nagging sense of despair that all the letters and rallies are not going to make one iota of difference to the changes Mr. Cameron has planned to make to the Marriage Bill. Yes we’ll oppose it, and shout with all our might….in vain!!
Is there a planed protest for London?

The report of the Paris protests on the “Up all Night” programme (BBC Radio 5) this morning characterized it as a coalition of the political right and religious believers (by implication the illiberal/reactionary “bad guys”). What the reporter was too lazy to find out, or possibly deliberately withheld from his listeners, was information from the protest organisers’ website, “La Manif pour Tous”, which states that at least two “gay” movements (Plus Gay Sans Mariage and Homovox) joined in the protest against both SSM and adoption. There is even a link on the home page of KTO TV website, the television channel of the diocese of Paris, to the “La Manif pour Tous” site.

I hope everyone knows about the soy problem. Search wnd.com/2006/12/39253. Soy is causing hormonal changes and research has found that it is caausing homosexuality. Some people have been fed a soy formula only as infants. No wonder some think they were born this way. This is from the devil. China is producing a high amount of soy . This goes along with their population control – homosexuals can’t produce offspring!
Soy is in everything on the grocery shelves. Don’t buy it. If it causes hormonal changes, it could raise chaos in everyone’s health!
PLEASE GOD ENLIGHTEN YOUR “SHEEP”!! HAVE MERCY ON US.
